The two golden-armored warriors under the Grim Reaper listened to his command, hesitated for a moment, then raised their heads slightly, glanced at each other, and finally knelt down in front of the Grim Reaper on one knee, and said:

"Yes, the subordinates will never let the young master down!"

After saying this, they stood up, and were about to leave, when suddenly four or five paces before they met, a shadow appeared out of thin air, and the shadow was wearing gray-white armor, and his head was covered by a long black scarf, and he was also kneeling on one knee, and said:

"Young master, the king of the earth, please come over!"

The Grim Reaper hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The little one doesn't know, the king of the earth just asked the little one to invite you!"

"Got it!"

After the Grim Reaper finished speaking, the masked man in gray and white armor disappeared into thin air again.

But I heard the god of death say to the two golden-armored warriors, "You two wait here first, and then come back with you when I have returned to my father." ”

"Yes!" The two golden-armored warriors agreed in unison.

After Death finished speaking, he took a few steps forward, and then disappeared into thin air like the gray-armored masked man before.

――――――――――――――――

An ancient castle of dark blue with a mysterious halo inside. The thick beams and pillars that support the castle are more like lonely people than the limbs of a giant beast, and although they can look at each other in pairs, they cannot cling to each other.

For some reason, a lantern stand was lying on the ground unruly, and the two doors were concealed, revealing a bright light inside the door.

The mountains in the distance may be dull under the deep blue sky, but they shine in a variety of colors. The flickering light is like the starlight of the vast universe; It is also like the gems in the jewelry store, which are dazzling. In short, their existence makes the boundless darkness seem to see hope and hope.

A white figure was standing in front of the pillars of the castle and watching the light from afar, dressed in a white robe and covered by a white scarf that also covered his hair. Under the illumination of colorful light, his clothes seemed to be covered with a layer of white sand. He also wears a mask on his face, which also happens to be white, and his eyes are not visible. The mask looked serene and serene, as if there was nothing to desire, as if there was nothing to want.

Suddenly, a puff of green smoke rose out of thin air within five steps of him, like an invisible man lighting the tobacco in his pipe. Next, the Grim Reaper, covered in a black turban, appears out of thin air again. When he appeared, the first thing he saw was the silver-white masked man standing at the door of the castle in despair; The second time I saw that the door was hidden, and a lantern stand was lying on the ground for no reason.

Seeing this, the Grim Reaper was slightly uneasy, and only heard him ask softly: "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

The Earth King just stood silently, and did not answer him, his eyes seemed to be looking into the distance. But, after a short while, one of his trembling hands reached into his chest, and he took out a letter from it and handed it to the Grim Reaper.

Death hurriedly took it in his hand, opened the letter and began to read it. He wanted to see what it was about, and what would make his father, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, frightened.

Death opened the letter, only to see a few words written on it:

"Great Earth King, it's an honor for us to meet again. I am your old friend Diablo the Nightmare Emperor, and your daughter Belin is in my hands, if you want her to live, you better listen to me obediently, I guarantee that she will be safe and will live well. Otherwise, you'll never want to see your daughter again! ”

The Grim Reaper, who saw this letter, actually became uneasy from the look he had just now, holding the letter in his hand, but his heart was trembling......

The father had three children, Belin, Death, and Dragon. Belin, her father's only daughter, doesn't like to live in hell, but loves the colorful world, and she always likes to travel and explore all parts and corners of the world. As a child, she spent the most time with her father and mother. When her mother was around, she would braid her hair, draw her eyebrows, make floral clothes, and cook her favorite food. She also traveled around the world with her father and mother, and the family of three was happy at that time, until her mother's departure......

Thinking of this, the Grim Reaper didn't dare to think any further, his body was numb with cold, and his fist crumpled the letter into folds. Suddenly, he hesitated again and raised his head, and asked with a sigh:

"Dad, what are you going to do?"

The Earth King hesitated for a moment, and suddenly took a deep breath: "We can only do what he says, we have no choice." ”

"But...... This is exactly his trap. Besides, even if we obey him and do what he says, he may not let my sister go. ”

"You must not take any risks, and I will never allow anyone to hurt your sister." The king of the earth replied firmly.

The Grim Reaper stared down at the letter, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We can search for Belin's whereabouts while we perfunctory him." ”

"No!" The Earth King suddenly turned his face to face the Grim Reaper, and his quiet and peaceful face seemed to become turbulent in an instant:

"I said, do as he says, don't take any risks, Diablo is a cunning guy and he can do anything. I don't want your sister to make any mistakes, then, I'm sorry for her, and I'm sorry for your mother......"

When the king of the earth said this, he choked and couldn't speak, he held the wall of the beams and pillars with one hand, as if he wanted to support him to say something, but he couldn't say it anymore, he could only turn into a wisp of white smoke and disappear out of thin air.

Death held the letter in his hand, looked at the words on the letter, and a gradually blurred figure appeared in his mind - a woman with yellow skin and a kind face with black shawl hair often appeared in his dreams, and for countless days and nights, a dream always surrounded him: it was that woman who used to look at him reluctantly with a helpless smile on her face, and said to him with a little sadness on her face: "Lexi, I am leaving, and I will never come back!" ”

"Mom, where are you going?" The Grim Reaper, who had just turned ten, asked.

"Go to Mom's original home...... Death's mother replied hesitantly, only to see a sparkle in her eyes: "In another world, mom also has a mother, her own husband and her own children. ”

"Is Mom going to another world to find another husband and another child?" The young Grim Reaper asked with a wink.

"Yes." Death's mother thought that Death understood her heart, and she seemed to be comforted by Death's problems, but she also seemed to get only bitterness, because her tears had already flowed down her cheeks.

"Then Mom, can you go back quickly? I'm waiting for you here with my father, my sister, and my little brother. ”

When the Grim Reaper's mother heard this, she suddenly froze, and she finally realized that the Grim Reaper did not understand her heart, and she did not understand what place she was going to. However, tears had already welled up in her eyes, and she could no longer hide the pain in her heart, so she covered her cheeks with her hands and left sadly......

Sitting on a flat rock, Death remembers the last scene before he parted with his mother years ago, and throws the letter in his hand into a ball of paper. Because of this scene, he wondered and regretted countless times - why was his father willing to let his mother go to a place where he could never come back? Why was he so stupid at that time that he would agree to her leaving.

The two people wearing golden armor and golden masks that had appeared once appeared appeared in front of the Grim Reaper again, they touched the ground on one knee and knelt beside the Grim Reaper, only to hear one of them ask: "Young Master, are we still leaving?" ”

The Grim Reaper was not surprised by their presence, on the contrary, he remained in a thoughtful state of mind. After a long while, he reacted to what the Golden Mask Man said, only to see him suddenly stand up, pat the dust off his body, and then said to the Golden Mask Man:

"No need, the plan to hunt down the wild ice has been canceled, and now, I'm going to tell you to do another thing."
